THE Northern Technical College (NORTEC) will take advantage of Government’s support and policies to be a responsive partner in implementing them and translating strategy into trained human capital which will contribute to the country’s development.
NORTEC Board Chairman Lawrence Matibini said the college has for a long time committed itself to hands-on, industry-tailored programmes and that, as an institution, it stands more than ready to design and deliver practical, client-specific training shaped by industry blue-prints and workplace realities.
Mr Matibini said the graduation ceremony for Ministry of Health Cold Chain Technical staff and the launch of the National Maintenance Campaign, which was held at NORTEC was not only the accomplishment of the graduands in Cold Chain training, but also a celebration of successful triadic strategic partnership involving the United Nations International Children Emergency Funds (UNICEF) and Ministry of Health.
He said the partnership had delivered training that would translate into improved public health services and a demonstration of how coordinated investment, technical stewardship and skills development come together to protect lives.
“NORTEC welcomes and supports national policies that recognise quasi-government technical institutions as drivers of national development, such recognition empowers institutions like NORTEC to be a responsive partner in implementing policy and translating strategy into trained human capital.
To our triadic partners, UNICEF and the Ministry of Health, please accept our assurance, NORTEC management and dedicated staff are proactive and committed to delivering quality training that meets and exceeds expectations,” Mr Matibini said
And Copperbelt Permanent Secretary Lawrence Mwanza said the government through the Ministry of Health, values the partnership with UNICEF and NORTEC in introducing this vital programme and anchoring it at the institution.
Mr Mwanza said NORTEC had decades of academic experience in producing quality graduates who were ready for a career in industry, noting the training being offered by the institution in Biomedical Engineering Technologists has been vital in driving the health sector’s equipment recapitalisation agenda.
“The investment in medical equipment must be matched by availability of highly trained staff who are able to use and maintain it.
Our desire as government through this partnership is to create a permanent platform for continuous professional development, standardised national curricula, applied research and innovation,” Mr Mwanza said.
